‘Most humble man I’ve met’ – Anthony Joshua stuns customers at Morrisons as he works behind till
ANTHONY JOSHUA proved he is truly top shelf after posing for pictures with fans at Morrisons – and even working behind the till.
The heavyweight superstar appeared to be promoting sponsor Lucozade when he stunned Watford locals with his presence in the shop.
Joshua, king of the counters, put in a shift as he worked on the supermarket tills while making time for fans.
One posed for a selfie with AJ and posted online: “What perfect timing to pop into our local Morrisons.
“And meet the amazing @anthonyjoshua. What a lovely, smiley, friendly man. I hope they gave him the job.”
Another added: “The most humble man I have ever met!”
It was only in March the down-to-earth multimillionaire took the No.32 bus to Kilburn Park Station in front of shocked passengers.
Joshua, 35, is yet to return to the ring since his September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, at Wembley.
He most recently visited Nigeria and the Middle East on holiday and revealed he plans to fight again before the new year.
Joshua told ESPN Mexico: “December, I will fight again. That’s when I want to fight again, I’ll take some time and I will go in December.

“I just want to get my body feeling good and then I’ll fight. It’s a simple job.”
Promoter Eddie Hearn had warned the two-time champion was carrying an injury.
And now Joshua revealed to DAZN: “I’m trying to get my body right.
“I have got to actually have a little surgery on my elbow. A small surgery sometime in May. I’m finalising the details.
“That will see me out of the gym for maybe six to eight weeks, and then when I’m healed, I will be back.”
A long-awaited Battle of Britain bout between Joshua and Tyson Fury was expected to materialise this year.
But after Fury, 36, twice lost to Oleksandr Usyk, 38, last year he announced a shock retirement in January.
Hearn has admitted they are waiting to see if Fury reverses his decision – for a fifth time – before deciding who AJ’s next opponent will be.
Meanwhile, Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh revealed he is in talks with Joshua over a fresh two-fight deal.
